aab45 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 My gf broke up with me out of the blue last week. To add to this, we share the same tight social circle that meets multiple times per week for different outings. I have been keeping my distance from the group so far. While I don't want to lose touch with this circle of friends, I also feel that seeing her would add to my pain and discomfort. Has anyone been in a similar situation and how did you handle it?
foolinlove79 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Yep i have. Unfortunately what happens is most people take sides. In my situation i just stopped going to group gatherings where they were. Buy it doesnt mean you cant hang out with them at different times. I think its pretty common really. When you date someone you end up with mutual friends. 1

If you know it will add to your pain and discomfort then it will buddy. Real friends will hang out with you and not involve your ex. If you know that this wont happen then its time to make new friends. Goodluck
Author aab45 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Thank you for the responses. I had two options neither of which were easy. I could go back and pretend like nothing happened. Or I could not go back. I like hanging out with the group. But I am not wired for the first option.
